“THE ANT ANDTHE DOVE”

(By: KATHERYNE ROMERO)
Perform by: Cristine B. Barral

The ant and the Dove One hot day, an ant was searching for
some water. After walking around for some time, she came to
a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of
grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell into the
water. She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree
had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the
dove quickly plucked off a leaf and dropped it into the water
near the struggling ant. The ant moved towards the leaf and
climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.
Just at that time, a hunter nearby was throwing out his net
towards the dove, hoping to trap it. Guessing what he was
about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the
pain, the hunter dropped his net. The dove was quick to fly
away to safety. One good turn deserves another.
